[Anarky]

why not?

On the other hand side, you could ask yourself "Why? Do we really need this?"

So, and why are these series your favourites?

01. TMNT classic: I must say that this series had great impact on me when I was a kid
02. SWAT Kats: Cats as outlaws, coll voice acting, great action.
03. The Simpsons: Despite the newer seasons being not so good, this series never seizes to make me laugh
04. Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs: Back in the day, there wasn't anything better than cowboys in space, a giant robot and some of the best voices Germany has to offer.
05. Batman TAS. I always loved Batman, and combined with one of the best artists there is (Bruce Timm). What more can you ask for?
06. Batman Beyond: I always loved the references to the past. Like the Jokerz or old Bane.
07. Bugs Bunny: He always amused me when my life was hardest. That I'll never forget.
08. Samurai Champloo: Relatively new, but the series is written and animated too good.
09. Hellsing: Dark, evil and it changed my view on cartoons.
10. Wind of Amnesia: Got me hooked on anime.

And that'll be it from me. All that follows would just be some out of order stuff.

[Hannah]

I don't watch TV too much, so I can't get past 4.


1) Sonic X
2) InuYasha
3) Invader Zim
4) TMNT
*kills last one*

[ZariusTwo]

1. Transformers: Generation One, despite it's flaws, it's still better written than most of the s*it you see today, which includes the crappy Transformers animes, and it could be a great series when it wanted to be, the beggining of the Transformers franchise

2. Batman: The Animated Series: The show that not only changed the face of every cartoon for the better, but also paved the way for darker american shows, helping Bruce Timm create the amazing Superman, Batman Beyond, and Justice Leauge shows, which are still some producing of the greatest episodes ever, far better than the current anime garbage.

3. M.A.S.K: Proably the most underated cartoon of all time, transforming cars, masks with special abilities, consitent writing...THAT theme song, come on...that screams REVIVAL

4. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

5.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The original, and still the greatest, it paved the way for the Turtles' media conquest, and it's enduring legacy beyond the series' existence, leading to more faifthful version, ignore the fact this series butcherd the comics concepts, superior humour, great villains, good characters etc.

[Anarky]

Red Dwarf isn't a cartoon-show, Hannah.

[Hannah]

oo x.X I didnt read the title correctly

[damnhooligan]

1. Danger Mouse - One of the few cartoons my parents would sit down and watch with me. Sweet, sweet nostalgia.

2. Old School Ninja Turtles - C'mon. Frickin' Ninja Turtles!

3. Invader Zim - TV's Frank from MST3k was head writer. Kevin McDonald from KITH was the Almighty Tallest Purple. Ted Raimi was Invader Skoodge. Consider my mind officially blown.

4. Rocko's Modern Life - Abstract oddball humor that appealed to me as a kid, and equally as an adult.

5. Ren and Stimpy - A classic, if ever there was one.

6. New School Ninja Turtles - Again, FRICKIN' NINJA TURTLES!

7. Beetlejuice - I loved the cartoon even more than the movie!

8. Clerks - Who is driving? Bear is driving! HOW CAN THAT BE?!

9. The Simpsons - The very foundation of my sense of humor.

10. The Critic - I'm a movie nerd, so the show immediately appealed to me. Also, Duke Phillips kicks ass.

[DrSpengler]

Real Ghostbusters, seasons 1-3

Season 1 being the best.

There were a lot of things that seperated the Real Ghostbusters from the competition. I could write you a college thesis about the show if I wanted, but I haven't the time or the energy. So this post is gonna be all over the place, just so I can touch upon some of the many things that made this show (in it's early years) one of the best cartoons out there.

The Villains

Every week GI Joe fought Cobra. Every week the Autobots fought the Decepticons. Every week the TMNT fought Shredder. Sure, the diabolical plans were different each time but the bad guys were always the same. THe Real Ghostbusters were different. It was a new villain every week. You never knew what to expect. The more popular villains got to come back a second time (oddly, cameos aside, no villain appeared more than twice in the series). And nearly all the villains were spectacular. We had Samhaine, the spirit of Halloween. Then the was the Boogeyman, the scariest monster on the show. The Sandman, the Spirit of Ragnarok, Hob Anagarak, the ghosts of Wyatt Earp and his gang, etc etc. The writers gave one-shot villains more depth and motivation in a SINGLE episode than most 80's cartoons did in a 6-season span.

Some villain bios can be found here:

http://www.stuart.iit.edu/students/adamadr/images/rgb/peter.htm


The Voice Acting

Can you believe, that at least for the first season, the show only had FIVE voice actors total? That's right. Every role for the first season was split amongst five actors. Lorenzo Music did Peter (you might recognize him as Garfield), Frank Welker did Ray, Slimer and most of the monsters (he's recognized as the best voice actor in America), Maurice LaMarche did Egon and nearly all the monsters Welker didn't do (he was the Brain from Pinky & the Brain, amongst a thousand other roles), Arsenio Hall did Winston (you all recognize him from his talk show and movie career), and Laura Hall did Janine and ALL the other female characters (her range was fantastic). Later seasons saw Dave Coulier replace Peter (Joey from Full House), Buster Jones replace Winston (Blaster from Transformers), and Kath Soucie replaced Janine (she is one of the best female voice actors out there). On top of the immense talent lots of vocal effects were applied to the monsters to give them all a very creepy sound.

The Writing

Undoubtedly the BEST part of the early seasons and the WORST part of the later seasons. The writing, for the first season at least, was extremely dark. In one particular episode and entire trainload of people DIE and come back as zombies. Pretty crazy for a "kid's show". The staff included veteran television and comic book author J. Michael Straczynski. He wrote what's recognized as the best episodes of the series. His writing style was remarkably dark and typically involved a lot of death, destruction and apocalyptic problems. But for howevr dark the show was it was also hilarious. The jokes were very clever and rarely relied on cliches. The dialogue exchanges were always my favorite.

Ray: I don't understand! Why didn't she believe us!?

Peter: Ray, we told her there was a monster in her kid's closet. We're lucky she didn't have us arrested.

Here's some wav files from the show, I recommend "Confessions". My favorite part of Devil To Pay:

You mean "Pirates of Dark Water" and "Toxic Crusaders"?

Both decent shows in their own right. Though a little strange that a hardcore NC-17 horror movie like Toxica Avenger could spawn a children's show.

[ZariusTwo]

Don't get me wrong, the first eleven seasons are great, it's been sucking ever since though.

[Peanut]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (new & old) - Because it's Ninja Turtles!
The Transformers - While there were mistakes and plot holes abound it was still a completely kick ass show.
Spider-Man (90's) - Got me back into Spider-Man after about a two year absence from the comic books, plus it just all around cool.
Ren & Stimpy - I felt rather like a rebel staying up late to watch it when I was a kid.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force - One of the funniest shows of all time. Shake is my hero.
Star Wars: Clone Wars - Not only is it the best representation of the franchise outside of the movies, but the action sequences are better than any animated show I've ever seen.

[IceFlash78]

No particular order:

1) Fullmetal Alchemist
2) TMNT (new)
3) The Venture Brothers
4) Family Guy
5) Futurama
6) Swat Kats (even though I don't really remember the show)


More to follow later

I just remembered a few more:

7) Visions of Escaflowne (I only saw the screwed up version on Foxbox, but i was entranced by it.. i hope to see the uncut version someday)

[Barkworm]

-Trigun: Vash the Stampede is one of the coolest characters ever
-Samurai Champloo: What a show! A pretty much perfect blend of humour, action, drama and style.
-The Simpsons season 1-9: Maybe THE funniest show ever. Homer taught me more about life than anyone else. :lol:
-Rurouni Kenshin (episode 28-61): The Kyoto arc. Probably my favourite Samurai story.
-Futurama: The show starts a little slow but some of the later episodes are beyond awesome. Plus the show is not just funny it also has some very nice serious moments.
-Family Guy: For the same reason everyone loves it.
-Monster: One of my favourite Manga and the show is very true to it.
-One Piece: Another one of my favourite manga. Although the Animation is ridiculous at some points the show is great.
-Samurai 7: Another Samurai Anime. This one has Mechas in it without getting ridiculous. Awesome music, good plots, excellent animation.
-Detective Conan: I'm more into the Manga than into the anime but it's just an overall good show.

[Weapon X]

there was also this show that i belive was only in canada that was called "undergrads" that was cool too.

I've seen that before and I live in Ohio so I guess it was on in the U.S. too. :)

[The Clerk]

1. X-men ( from the '90s) i loved it... 'cept for the whole damned jean grey saga...

2. underGRADS - c'mon, this is prolly one of the best underground shows ever

3. TMNT - ...do i need to tell why?

4. Drawn Together - i absolutely love it... sick humor always gets me

5, Biker Mice from Mars - as a kid,... i always ate hot dogs and drank root beer thanks to this show

6. DownTown - an older mtv show about this guy and his younger sister's friends and situation... it was pretty cool, i miss it

7. Clerks - Kevin Smith is brilliant, i'm a huge fan of him and c'mon; dante and randal f'n rule! even tho i'm very much like brodie (the one from mallrats)...

8. Family Guy - ...sick... humor... rules...

9. DBZ - but only before GT started.. oye, i didn't like GT

10. Life with Louie - The dad ruled on this show, gotta love it

11. the Tick - funny for any age... gotta love Speak

12. Beast Wars - i uno if you woud consider this cartoon... but... tis awesome

[DrSpengler]

As long as we're talking about dead Mtv cartoons that owned...

The Maxx-Based on my favorite comic of all time. Of course I loved it.

Clone High-Absolutely brilliant concept and a hilarious cartoon. I think it was by the same guy who does Faily Odd Parents, another awesome cartoon.

[majesty329]

Here are some of my favorite cartoons in no particular order:

G.I. Joe
He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe (the old one)
C.O.P.S.
The Adventures Of Galaxy Rangers
The Real Ghostbusters
Spiral Zone
Defenders Of The Earth
Transformers: G1
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
She-Ra: Princess Of Power
M.A.S.K.
Batman: The Animated Series
Super Powers: Intergalatic Guardians
Duck Tales
Darkwing Duck
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
Silver Hawks

[ZariusTwo]

12. Beast Wars - i uno if you woud consider this cartoon... but... tis awesome

A lot of us consider that cartoon, probably the second greatest Transformers show of all time...and sadly, the last great one depending on what you think of what came after it (Beast Machines, the animes etc)

Sheesh, Japan can't produce a good Transformers show to save thier lives...

[Peanut]

Clone High-Absolutely brilliant concept and a hilarious cartoon. I think it was by the same guy who does Faily Odd Parents, another awesome cartoon.

I loved Clone High. I hate how that show got canned last year here in Canada on Teletoon, and underGRADS has been running the same 13 episodes every night for the last 3 years. I'm so sick of that show, maybe if it was at least a little funny. Clone High was awesome though, it definately could have gone somewhere. That episode with the pie fight was classic.

Transformers - the original cartoon rocked, plot holes and such, but it was still cool...
Clone High - it had its moments... pretty funny
Clone Wars - very cool... I couldn't believe it was *new* Star Wars...
ReBoot - Loved this show... don't know if it is classefied as a cartoon though... esspecially loved the last couple episodes... the whole show reminded me of Tron...

There is just far too many for me to even begin to list... I love old school, new school, jap and western... especially things that give me a nostalgia kick... like reading that someone put "racoons" I'd totally forgotten about that until now...haha.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the Dino Riders Pilot episode tho... sure the series was crap, but the pilot was brilliant.

[ZariusTwo]

7. [A show I can't remember the name of, which had a tomato from a video game world I believe]


Either you're referencing Captain N: The Game Master, or you're getting it mixed up with "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

[johnnie1]

I looked up both of them and neither of them were it, I only seen a few episodes of it but after spending some time on google it was actually called what I thought it was, just couldn't bring up much on it before.

Here's some screencaps from it. It's "Power Team."

[BaldMonk]

That cartoon was part of another show where a guy sat in front of the camera and gave hints and reviews of new games... each week it seemed to be Ninja Gaiden or Mario hints... hahaha.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I'm not going to list this in any order,just a list of things near and dear to my heart.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. - I grew up on it. It was the foundation of my 5 year old life, and I counted the minutes until I got home from shcool and could "Do the Mario" at 4:30 on a weekday afternoon. I attribute it as a reason why Nintendo is a part of my very soul.

Animaniacs - Honestly to me it was the funniest show ever made. The songs were frantic, the jokes were funny, and the humor was all around disgusting. One of the few shows where you could have characters trash Hollywood, piss on stage, make fun of their own network, cause sexual harrasment, and then break into song about it. I miss Fox Kids....

F-Zero: The Legend of Falcon - Japanese version only. Honestly, to me, before there was Batman, before I met Spidy, there was Captain Falcon. He was the first super hero I ever truly cared about. he was my hero, the man in blue who raced to kill evil bastards, and had fun doing it as a bounty hunter/super hero. To see F-Zero finally get the respect it deserved after 14 years brings a tear to my eye. Blood, death, boose, knife fights, hardcore racing, and a twisted love story spanning 200 years all come together to make one of the most kickass series ever. Ignore the dub, experience the original and see why F-Zero is the Legend that it is.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Actually, it was the first TV series I ever remember seeing. I was 3 years old at the time. My first animated series. Don't know where I'd be without them. I hardly watch anything from it anymore, but I'll always treasure the memories it gave me in my childhood.

Captain N: The Game Master - Honestly, if you're a child of the 80's, then who dosen't remember this. Yes, Mega Man was a troll, Simon Belmont was a prick, and Pit had the wrong name, but who gives a damn. It was cool. Who didn't wish he was Kevin Keene living the lives of video heroes and killing that birch Mother Brain while fighting alongside Link (even if he did act like a ego posessed turd). You know you're a fan if you ever wanted Princess Lana to be a Smash Bros. Trophy.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 - Now that what I'm talkin about. This is the series we wanted, and dreamed of. Street fights, no pupils, Mirage storyline, and blatant death. It's about damn time the TMNT got some respect. To me, it's the only American piece of TV I still respect. It holds you, and dosen't let go, and unlike it's predacessor, it just keeps going uphill with age. Turtle Power dudes.

Sonic X - Say what you will, but the series was emotional, kickass, high quality, and for the most part (damn you Chris) true to the games. Coming back to TV Tokyo this April!

Samuari Shamploo - Sex, Samuari, Ninjas, fighting, and running over with style. Seriously, can you ask for anything more?

Bisojo Senshi Sailormoon - It's the show that brought me to Japan. Back when I thought all Japanese were wierd, this series came along, and even through a sh*tty dub, made you feel. Don't know where I'd be without it. Probobly a racist prick who never saw the light. Bless you Naoko.

Sonic the Hedgehog - With all the sh*t we've been through, some people wonder why the Sonic fanbase is still so loyal. This series is the answer. It was the true begenning of Sonic. There was no story, so DiC (when they were still worth a damn) gave him one. The characters felt alive, and you were emotionally etached to them. The dangers were real, and characters could be turned into soulless robots with no will to live. Robotnik was a badass demon from hell, and had no morals whatsoever, even twords his own nephew. It was drak, it was cruel, it was emotional, and it was deep. This is where Sonic came from. Damn you Sega for burying it. At least let it live on seperately. Anyways, SatAM pwned.

Street Fighter II V - Yeah, it was inaccurate in ways, but the animation was unrivaled, the characters were fun to go along with, and the whole thing felt like a global adventure. It gave Street Fighter a purpose, and was fun to watch. I watched it on DVD and had to buy it. It's not as good as the Animated movie, but it is still kickass.

There's a billion more. Tune in next week. :D

[ZariusTwo]

It holds you, and dosen't let go, and unlike it's predacessor, it just keeps going uphill with age.

That's a matter of opinion

Oh yeah, speaking of Sonic


SONIC SATAM: The ONLY Sonic cartoon that does'nt suck, this series was the first to give Sonic balls in the first place, you'll never see Sonic break down in tears in "Sonic Echhhhhhh", in this show, he had a strong relationship with Princess Sally, a female character of equal strength and stature who did'nt whine because Sonic stood her up on a date (coughAMYcough), and instead of irritating brats like Chris, we get the darkest interpretation of Robotnik ever, a dictator, the person to overthrow, it took them two seasons (and more if Power Rangers had'nt crushed it) a great balance of emotion and action the likes of which are still seen today in the Archie comics, to this very day people constantly demand the intergration of the SATAM characters into the Segasonic games

[ThirdMarioBro]

Holy sh*t, how could I forget SatAM *hits self*

Sonic the Hedgehog - With all the sh*t we've been through, some people wonder why the Sonic fanbase is still so loyal. This series is the answer. It was the true begenning of Sonic. There was no story, so DiC (when they were still worth a damn) gave him one. The characters felt alive, and you were emotionally etached to them.

It gave Street Fighter a purpose, and was fun to watch. I watched it on DVD and had to buy it. It's not as good as the Animated movie, but it is still kickass.
